      Software Engineer In Test Interview

      5 Jun 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Google in Mar 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter that met me on a career fair for my university. They were interested in receiving an application from me and so I decided to apply. About a month after I sent in my resume they contacted me and said they would like to setup a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty great - the lady that was interviewing me was extremely friendly and calmed my nerves. I do terribly on phone interviews because phone conversations make me nervous (no idea why). I did pretty badly and only got to the second interview question out of 3 ( I later found out from talking to her on the onsite interview day that she had 3 questions to ask me and the first 2 were just warmups). However, she liked my personality and said I walked her through my thought process very well. A few weeks later I was told that I had been invited for a series of on site interview (5). The first interview went badly as I was very nervous, but the last 4 went very well. About 2 weeks later I was contacted one final time and notified they would not be extending me an offer. I had no time to prepare/study anything for either the phone or the onsite interviews due to a heavy course load (70 hours or so of homework a week), so I feel I did well considering. If I had time to prepare/study I feel confident I would have gotten the position. Overall the experience was very positive - they communicated very clearly at all times and everyone involved in the entire process was extremely professional and friendly.

      Question 1

      All questions were fairly equal in difficulty - I managed to just finish solving them right as the interview with each person ended.

      Interview

      Very friendly recruiter, she took the time to go through the overall process. I appreciated the attitude. Sadly I did not match the jobs requirements so it didn't go further than the first HR meeting.

      Software Engineer Test Interview

      31 Jul 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Bengaluru) in May 2018

      Interview

      The interviewer asked 2questions. One coding question although I wrote the package and relevant classes to be used to solve the problem. Interviewer was not happy, as I wrote code in Java and the interviewer expected it in some other language of his preference. They made me prepare DS, Algorithms, OS, System Design. And asked a non-relevant question not part of any of the subjects asked to prepare. They boast aroud their "Reduced Four" interview process. But, their interviewers need more trainings. Ethical interviews, unethical practices like the EU antiTrust fine.
